There's really no point in talking about how bad these cards are, because they're simply meant for more casual players and their families to learn about the risk/reward of using GXs. I would imagine there's virtually no chance that these cards will ever make it outside of Japan (unless they're put into a similar type of product for casual players internationally).

Surprized people complaining about how bad these cards are. Personally, I'm a collector I just love the artwork on these cards. The only thing I can complain about is how expensive Pokemon TCG products are in Europe and as I am from Latvia, nearest cheapest location to order products are from Germany or the UK, But again due to Brexit and tariffs implemented make these products really expensive.
